Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound bulk pork breakfast sausage
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or instant flour like Wondra
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
2½ cups whole milk
Salt to taste
ground sage to taste (optional)
ground fennel to taste (optional)
ground red pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Set a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is loose and no longer pink, approximately 10 minutes. Taste sausage and adjust seasonings - you may wish to add sage and fennel aggressively.
  • Sprinkle the flour and pepper over the sausage and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour has been absorbed by the fat and has gathered its flavors close, approximately 2 to 5 minutes.
  • Slowly stir in the milk and cook at a bare simmer until the gravy gets thick and the roux covers the back of a spoon. If it is too thick for your liking add more milk and stir. Check seasonings and serve over split or roughly crumbled biscuits.
